Dabo on Brian Dawkins

I had a chance to speak with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney this afternoon at the Chick-fil-A Bowl head coach's press conference, and he said that the hire of a coach to replace Charlie Harbison will probably occur after the bowl game.

I also mentioned that I have received a ton of emails regarding former Tiger Brian DawkinsBrian Dawkins Safety#20 6-0, 200Jacksonville, FLView Full Profile, and Swinney said he doesn't think coaching is what Dawkins wants at this point in his life.

"Obviously, we would consider any qualified candidate, and he would be that," Swinney told me. "But I just don't think coaching is something he wants to do at this point in his life."
